Sweet Pepper Paste (Massa de Pimentão)

Massa de pimentão (pronounced “ mah-ssah de pea-meant-ow”) is a sweet yet salty pepper paste made from salt cured red bell peppers. It’s found throughout Portuguese cooking and is used as a base for sauces and stews, as a marinade for meats or fish and it is also used as a condiment.

If you’re planning on preserving this, leave the garlic out and just add fresh garlic each time you use the paste.
